Guest post from Monograms and Margaritas

Hi y’all! I’m Paige and you can usually find me over at Monograms and Margaritas.
I feel so honored to be guest blogging for Preppy Girl Meets World
today! I’ve known Masha for a little over four years now and our
friendship truly is a testament to how amazing blogging can be; I mean
without our blogs, I doubt we ever would have become this close. And by
close, I mean I message her weekly during my mini-breakdowns and she
complains freely about the cost of name brand nail polish in Germany.
The struggle is real.

I
am starting a new line of posts on my blog to highlight my own love of
nail polish and also to provide an excuse as to why I have so many to my
fiancé. I’m pleased to bring you the very first post in my new series!

Inaugural Color: Dior Vernis Nail Lacquer in Purple Revolution 906

Shade: Very Dark Violet

The
Story Behind It: I was looking for a dark shade for fall that wasn’t
black or gray, when someone at Sephora recommended Purple Revolution.
Since it wasn’t available in stores, I broke a speed record pulling out
my iPhone to look it up. Then I about swallowed my own tongue when I saw
the price. I proceeded to go home, pout, stare lovingly at my laptop
screen and drink a glass or four of wine before going to sleep. I woke
up to find a shiny new, and a bit confusing, order confirmation email
from Sephora. The heart wants what the heart wants.

The lacquer applied smoothly and looks fantastic. While it appears
dark to the point of almost being black, it does have a purple tint
under direct light. I love Purple Revolution for early fall! It’s quite
the contrast to the bright summer shades I’ve been wearing and a perfect
transition into autumn.
